Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the meatballs in two batches for 5 minutes, until browned. Remove and set aside.

Fry the remaining onions until golden. Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, purée and stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.

Return the sauce to the pan with the meatballs and olives and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes. Season to taste and serve scattered with feta cheese.
